Amazon.com has listed the release date of Anathem as September 9th. This helps confirm the entry under Neal Stephenson’s bibliography on Wikipedia, that Neal’s new book will be called Anathem. Still no word on what it’s about.
From here, last year: http://grettacook.livejournal.com/46696.html
“He’s writing a science fiction novel unrelated to Cryptonomicon and the Baroque Cycle. It’s set on another planet and has aliens and so on. It’s really about Platonic mathematics, but he needed the aliens and space opera-ish elements to spice it up a little bit, just like the pirates kept people engaged in the Baroque books. He’s nearly finished writing it, and if he doesn’t finish by the end of the calendar year he’ll have to give some money back. If everything proceeds according to schedule, it should be available in stores in about a year.”
Oh wait, I see you made a separate post with that info. My bad!
